A very good book. I learned a lot about how to be a blessed diva.
June 3, 2013
The Author: She is a prolific writer. She writes as though she is actually talking to a live audience, as though her audience is before her. You can’t help but laugh along with her. Her exclamations such as Pulhzeeeee, girlfriend e.t.c she is a captivating, fun loving and full of life author, she’s got so much energy in her, you feel it while reading the book.
The Book:
There is a diva attitude that should be cultivated, which she calls diva-tude
The book is divided into 4 Parts: Make a name for yourself, Claim your destiny, Choose your own battles, Keep the faith.
Lessons Learnt:
Life is not about the destination, it is all about the journey and the transformation that occurs along the way.
True divas don’t seek earthly recognition; there is a higher calling to affect nations and kingdoms to come by simply doing what the core of their soul led by the Spirit of God.
Honesty and a transparent Spirit is what separate the divas from the girls.
Taking note of what you want and why you want it is a good place to start.
A true diva does not rely on others to make her world, but creates her own universe and invites everyone to the party.
A life lived without passion is a life that will never be lived to the fullest.
It’s easier to solve the problem than to be right, sometimes standing on principle can make us lose more than we know.
Problems are gifts from God to make us grow and keep life exciting.
It is not how quickly the race is run, it is how we finish it. Divas that trust in God finish well no matter what wrong turns they may have taken along the way.
The easiest way to find out what is valuable to people is to notice the way they treat that person or thing.
Success is the best revenge against the things that have assaulted you, rise above them, and use them.
Divas have the ability to see the big picture and place kingdom priorities above all else, commitment to the greater good no matter what the cost.
A true diva cannot and will not watch from the sidelines, she is an active participant in her job, church, home and community.
To settle for less than your dreams is to live a life of mediocrity
Faith is the secret weapon of every diva
What distinguishes a diva is the refusal to bow to anything less than the will of God for their lives.
It is time to dare to make a decision about what you want in life, no matter how ridiculous, unbelievable, foreign it may sound, change your conversation tell your spirit what your new reality is and command it to line up under the authority of what you believe.
Prayer is the most intense, most intimate and most dynamic tool any woman can experience and possess in her personal arsenal.
Favorite Quotes: I will never question life nor resign myself to circumstances, By faith I will embrace the promises of God and utilize the strength and instruction he offers in order to overcome my trials. Decide your attitudes before life shapes them for you.

I learned that depending on god, and being in a position of submission does not mean that you are weak. I also learned that God does work in our favor if we worship him and have absolute faith in his works. This book enlightened me in many ways and her writing style helped me enjoy the book even more. This is definitely a book i will read again.
